Time Travel to Thailand's Past – Ayutthaya Day Tour Review

Just a 1.5-hour drive from Bangkok, you'll find yourself in Ayutthaya, an ancient kingdom with a completely different atmosphere and air. This is not just a historical site; it's a city where Thailand's glorious history comes alive. --- 🛕 Walking Among Red Brick Ruins and Buddha Statues As the former capital of the Siam Kingdom, Ayutthaya is filled with temples, stupas, Buddha statues, and palace ruins scattered across the city. The most impressive site was Wat Mahathat. The Buddha's face nestled among tree roots was far more mystical and reverent in person than in photos. Don't miss Wat Phra Si Sanphet and Wat Chaiwatthanaram either! The sheer size of the structures combined with the marks of time adds to their grandeur. --- 🚴 Getting Around: Tuk-Tuk or Bicycle Since the temples are spread out, I recommend taking a tuk-tuk tour or renting a bicycle. The leisurely ride between the ruins was truly special. ✔️ Tip: Visit in the morning or early afternoon, and catch the sunset in front of a temple for a perfect photo moment 📸 --- 💬 Conclusion Ayutthaya is not just a place to see "old architecture" but a destination where you can feel Thailand's history and spirit in a serene atmosphere. It may not be flashy, but it offers a deep and profound experience. If you want to experience the "real Thailand," this is a must-visit. Highly recommended with five stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
